Answer:

= 82%

Explanation:

Percentage purity is calculated by the formula;

% purity = (mass of pure chemical/total mass of sample) × 100

In this case;

1 mole of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 g

but; 164 g of Ca(NO3)2 = 40 g Ca

Therefore; mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 /40

                                                  = 4.1 g

Thus;

% purity of Ca(NO3)2 = (Mass of Ca(NO3)2/ mass of the sample)× 100

                                    = (4.1 g/ 5 g) × 100

                                    = 82%

How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react with 1 Mole of sulphuric acid?
Paul [167]

Answer:

Two moles.

Explanation:

Sulphuric (sulfuric) acid \rm H_2SO_4 is a diprotic acid. When one mole of \rm H_2SO_4 molecules dissolve in water, two moles of \rm H^{+} ions would be produced.

\rm H_2SO_4 \to 2\, H^{+} + {SO_4}^{2-}.

On the other hand, sodium hydroxide \rm NaOH is a monoprotic base. When one mole of \rm NaOH formula units dissolve in water, only one mole of hydroxide ions \rm OH^{-} would be produced.

\rm NaOH \to Na^{+} + OH^{-}.

Note that \rm H^{+} and \rm OH^{-} react at a one-to-one ratio:

\rm H^{+} + OH^{-} \to H_2O.

As a result, it would take 2\; \rm mol of \rm OH^{-} to react with the \rm 2\; mol of \rm H^{+} that was released when 1\; \rm mol of \rm H_2SO_4 is dissolved in water. Since one mole of \rm NaOH formula units could produce only one mole of \rm OH^{-}, it would take \rm 2\; mol of \rm NaOH formula units to produce that 2\; \rm mol of \rm OH^{-} for reacting with 1\; \rm mol of \rm H_2SO_4.
